Introduction of Waterway, Airway and Pipeline Transportation

Pipeline transportation: (1) large capacity (2) occupies a small area (3) pipeline transportation construction cycle is short, low cost (4) pipeline transportation is safe, reliable, continuity (5) pipeline transportation, less energy consumption, low cost, good

Inflexibility. Pipeline transportation is not as flexible as other modes of transportation (such as automobile transportation), in addition to transporting a single cargo, it is not allowed to casually expand the pipeline. To realize the "door to door" transportation services, for the general user, pipeline transportation often need to be with railroad transportation or automobile transportation, waterway transportation in order to complete the whole conveyance. In addition, due to the obvious shortage of transportation volume, the transportation cost will increase significantly.

Waterway transport is a mode of transportation that uses ships, rafts and other floating means to transport passengers and goods on rivers, streams, lakes, artificial waterways and oceans. It is an important part of China's comprehensive transportation system, and is increasingly showing its great role.

Waterway transportation: waterway transportation according to its navigation area, can be roughly divided into oceanic transportation, coastal transportation and inland waterway transportation in three forms. Ocean transportation usually refers to all sea transportation in addition to coastal transportation. Coastal transportation refers to the use of ships in China's coastal region between the various parts of the transportation. Inland waterway transport refers to the use of ships, rafts and other floating means of transportation, in the rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs and artificial waterways engaged in transportation.

Waterway transportation according to its navigation area, can be roughly divided into ocean transportation, coastal transportation and inland waterway transportation in three forms. Ocean transportation usually refers to all sea transportation except coastal transportation. Coastal transportation refers to the use of ships in China's coastal region between the various parts of the transportation. Inland waterway transport refers to the use of ships, rafts and other floating means of transportation, in the rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs and artificial waterways engaged in transportation.

Water transport has the following characteristics, but also its advantages:

1, water transport mainly using rivers, lakes and oceans "natural waterways" to carry out. Waterways are well-connected, almost unlimited navigability, and investment.

2, water transport can use natural favorable conditions, to achieve large tonnage, long-distance transport. Therefore, the main characteristics of water transport is large capacity, low cost, very suitable for the transportation of large quantities of goods.

3, is the main way to carry out international trade, is the development of the economy and friendly exchanges between the main means of transportation.

Generally speaking, the main objects of waterway transportation are passengers and goods, and in order to transport them there is a need for ships and ports. From the unified transportation network, water transport is only a "subsystem" in the "big system" of transportation. However, the composition of the water transportation system is also extremely large and complex.

Modern port is the meeting point of land and water transportation means, is the hub of transportation, it is responsible for the work is more complicated. In general, the port is located in the planning and construction departments to unify the study of the nearby sea, the river shoreline full and rational use of navigation engineering departments responsible for the port area wharf survey design and construction, while the port machinery manufacturing department on the pier berths "armed", equipped with a variety of advanced loading and unloading machinery, so that to the port of the car or ship can be unloaded or loaded on the shortest possible time to accelerate the turnover of means of transportation.
